Raps and Taps Byrd Senior Year

BYRD, whose great-great-grandpop helped found Yale,

Is the second Davenport to be released from the County Jail.

Whether Byrd undertakes a profession or insurance,

We shall have always this one assurance:

He’ll give to his game all he’s got;

And that is saying quite a lot.

Byrd captained the team that made the “Steam Roller”

Look more like a “push-in-front” stroller.

We know that he cannot but succeed,

For he is a man of both word and deed.

We shall look for his attainments in history’s pages,

Just as did the Davenports of other ages.

And we know full well we shall not be disappointed,

Since Byrd is one of Fame’s own anointed.
